An interface port expansion device (302) allows for more than one terminal equipment (304, 306, 308 and 310) having embedded U-interface termination's to interface to the ISDN via the U interface. The port expansion device (302) can take the form of a separate stand-alone device or a circuit which is integrated into a terminal apparatus. The port expansion device (302) includes a plurality of local (secondary) U interface ports (314, 316, 318 and 324) for interconnecting the terminal equipment (304, 306, 308 and 310) and a network side U interface (312) for interconnection to the ISDN. In other aspects of the invention, methods for allowing a plurality of terminal equipment having embedded U-interface terminations to receive messages from and transmit messages to the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) via a single network side U-interface are described.
